|

Since I wrote [the last post of
|
||||
2012](http://fmartingr.com/blog/2012/12/31/2013/) I have been wondering if I
|
||||
could finish -or at least, work- on all the projects or experiments I wanted
|
||||
to. The answer was easy: **no**. I just don't have enough time for all the
|
||||
stuff I want to do, so I have made some decisions about my projects.
|
||||
|
||||
## Project _herobrine_ **_…dropped!_**
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The first time I did something about this project was like 2010, as some of
|
||||
you have guessed by the name of the project, its minecraft related. It was
|
||||
intended to be a _wowhead-like_ minecraft database but not only on PC.
|
||||
|
||||
Some features I wanted:
|
||||
|
||||
* Developed with django, returning json objects to the client.
|
||||
* Client MVC based with BackboneJS
|
||||
* Responsive design -so you can check with your tablet while play on your computer-
|
||||
* "no refresh" -backbone-
|
||||
* WebGL/Canvas block rendering
|
||||
* JS Redstone circuit maker
|
||||
* JS Dye maker
|
||||
* Homepage with random background featuring user's screenshots (above)
|
||||
* Interactive crafting/brewing/…
|
||||
|
||||
Finally I have to say goodbye to this _jewel_ -and it's really hard because I
|
||||
love minecraft and I wanted this to happen- because of various reasons:
|
||||
[minecraftwiki](http://minecraftwiki.net/) already contains a lot of
|
||||
information -and it's really crowded-, the barrier of contents -I have to type
|
||||
in all the minecraft items, blocks, biomes, etc- and that this wasn't really a
|
||||
technical challenge -actually, some things are, but most of it are just
|
||||
database relations and stuff-.
|
||||
|
||||
I want to prepare a future post with all the work I made on this project.
|
||||
There's not much code but a lot of drafts and ideas that could help someone.
|
||||
|
||||
## Project _Serenity_ **_…dropped!_**
|
||||
|
||||
This was intended to be a way to simplify my jenkins business. Since I need a
|
||||
lot of tasks like: compile, minify, copy, deploy, upload, test… I wanted an
|
||||
app so I just define everything I need on a _YAML_ file and call the app with
|
||||
`serenity <task>`.
|
||||
|
||||
I have some drafts built, a base YAML file, and some features planned like
|
||||
integrated tasks, custom tasks in the YAML file, configuration…
|
||||
|
||||
Haven't coded for this one yet, but fortunately I heard about
|
||||
[grunt](http://gruntjs.com/) who may be something very close at what I wanted
|
||||
this one to be.
|
||||
|
||||
## ZombiePress ([github](http://github.com/fmartingr/zombiepress/))
|
||||
**_…dropped!_**
|
||||
|
||||
It's obvious. I was making my own blog software but since now I'm a proud
|
||||
octopress user this is no longer needed. I will keep the repo online just for
|
||||
making me feel nostalgic in the future.
|
||||
|
||||
## BlueBird **_…dropped!_**
|
||||
|
||||
For all the iPad users… remember when Twitter changed the UI of the app? Did
|
||||
you remember the old one? I do. The new interface is **total crap**, the other
|
||||
was simply brilliant, and for me it was near the best one for an iOS app. I
|
||||
was hoping to get a clone working in javascript, but my knowledge of touch
|
||||
screens is not that good, I need to study more on the matter and then**maybe**
|
||||
I will try again, but I'm pretty sure some javascript guru will do something
|
||||
before that happens.
|
||||
|
||||
## Project _Amaranth_
|
||||
|
||||
The bigger brother. Recently I started a Vampire: Dark Age game with some
|
||||
friends and it remembered me to when I played rolegames over IRC. I started
|
||||
thinking that a online interface for roleplaying will be nice to have, because
|
||||
you can also use it in a live session to whisper, draw, etc. The brainstorm
|
||||
started quick enough for me to consider making it.
|
||||
|
||||
## Project _RTC_
|
||||
|
||||
Just born! -yesterday :P-. I want to make some kind of webRTC site to have
|
||||
conversations without the need of register, just create a conversation, get a
|
||||
link and you are set. It's more an experiment than a project itself.
|
||||
|
||||
## Uvepe8 ([github](http://github.com/fmartingr/uvepe8/))
|
||||
|
||||
I'm very proud -in a useful way- of this one and of course I'm maintaining it.
|
||||
|
||||
For the ones who don't know, its sort of _video-to-html5-canvas_, a mix
|
||||
between apple's and sublime text's, but mines support transparency -I needed
|
||||
it-.
|
||||
|
||||
There are some features I want to implement shown on the README file and a
|
||||
full code review.
|
||||
|
||||
## Dharma ([github](http://github.com/fmartingr/dharma/))
|
||||
|
||||
An application to check for 404 links on websites, a lot of things could be
|
||||
added to this, but for now is for playing around with threading, gevent and
|
||||
that kind of things.
|
||||
|
||||
I have some _other things_ in mind I want to try, but that deserves another
|
||||
post -which is already in the works-.
|
||||
|
||||
Stay tuned for more updates, and as always, anything you want to say: comment,
|
||||
tweet, mail or shout at me!

title = "Tweeria: The MMORPG people without time can play"
|
||||
date = 2013-01-14
|
||||
+++
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Many of us -or maybe not, but let's assume that- have played at least one
|
||||
_MMORPG_ game in our life and we know that it could be _very_ time consuming.
|
||||
Level up, going to instances, getting better year… and if you was _hardcore_
|
||||
enough: scheduled raids.
|
||||
|
||||
As we grow up we notice that the time for this kind of things fade away, but
|
||||
you still want to party with friends and get some_purples_. Until I found
|
||||
**Tweeria**, that **brilliant idea** of using your twitter posts to interact
|
||||
with your _alter-ego_ on a MMORPG world.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
It shares some of the features of common MMORPGs but the good part is that
|
||||
**we don't need to do anything else that _tweet_**for many of them, so your
|
||||
character makes an action for every tweet you post -I think it's not every
|
||||
tweet, just a few in a period of time, haven't checked it-. You can defeat
|
||||
_NPCs_, loot an item, going onto a dungeon alone… you can even save -or kill
|
||||
:P- your friends if you mention or _retweet_ them in your tweets.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
However, there are some things that needs user interaction: the raids. You can
|
||||
have up to five scheduled raids at the same time but you need to join for it
|
||||
manually. However, it's fast and easy: you just need to get into the events
|
||||
page and join the event you want. For gear swapping, selling items and buying
|
||||
spells you need to interact on the site too. According to the posts you can
|
||||
craft items and spells but that part of the game does not work for me, so I
|
||||
don't know how it works.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Another thing you can do to interact with your character is using spells. For
|
||||
that, you need to buy on the market first, and when you have them equipped,
|
||||
you can cast one by tweeting `!<spell shortcut>` on a given tweet, the game
|
||||
will use it_automagically_.
|
||||
|
||||
Oh, did I mention that also have **achievements**?
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
As I've said, it surprised me how the most basic idea can be developed into a
|
||||
very enjoyable game. Unlike _ogame_, _travian_, and its brothers, you don't
|
||||
need to check the site every minute.
|
||||
But to be honest… I tweet more often since I play _Tweeria_.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to check it out [follow this link and join the world of
|
||||
tweeria](http://tweeria.com/registration?fmartingr). You'll help me getting an
|
||||
achievement! :D

### Summary
|
||||
|
||||
Takahata Shun's day at high school begins just as normal and boring as ever,
|
||||
but it doesn't end that way. After his teacher's head explodes, he and his
|
||||
classmates find themselves forced to play children's games, such as Daruma ga
|
||||
Koronda (a game like Red Light/Green Light), with deadly stakes. With no idea
|
||||
who is behind this mysterious deadly game session, and no way of knowing when
|
||||
it will finally end, the only thing Shun and other students can do is keep
|
||||
trying to win…

I've reunited a list with all the warcraft books sorted by the storyline of

the lore. Some of 'em occur at the same time so if you see the same book twice

that's the reason.

|

> Attention: This entry contains huge spoilers about the series finale of
|
||||
Fringe. Also, lots of negative opinions, if you like the series or don't
|
||||
understand how sarcasm works, leave.
|
||||
|
||||
I've spent the last weeks watching the show from where I dropped it -the third
|
||||
season- and I can say that the final season is the worst of all. I don't know
|
||||
if the show was losing audicence, if they only wanted to finish it, because I
|
||||
don't know another reason to kill the show this way.
|
||||
|
||||
From now on I'm talking only about the fifth season, as should be the more
|
||||
important and the one all of you -and myself- have fresh.
|
||||
|
||||
* The most stupid thing I remember: The tapes with the plan to get rid of the observers.
|
||||
Walter had a plan to defeat the observers, a plan that he never tell anyone
|
||||
until is destroyed from his mind by an observer. But, hey! He must have
|
||||
recorded the plan or something. I mean, he is a very smart one. He did. He
|
||||
recorded that he have a plan on a tape, but for knowing what it is you have to
|
||||
swim accross a sea of _amber_ to find another eight tapes with the details. OH
|
||||
HOW SMART IS THAT! Just a stupid reason to keep characters busy. Without this
|
||||
the entire fifth season is done in two-three chapters.
|
||||
|
||||
* The observers powers.
|
||||
So, I can read minds and predict -in some way- the future. How can SOMEONE
|
||||
DEFEAT YOU IF YOU CAN PREDICT WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO. And more, you SAW in
|
||||
Walter's mind what the plan was. The observers boss is just… asshole.
|
||||
|
||||
* The plan.
|
||||
Tons of VHS tapes with a specific plan of how to build a machine to generate a
|
||||
wormhole, but in the last moment, hey! But the observers generate wormholes
|
||||
for their supplies, let's use that! Let's put humanity's hope on a last moment
|
||||
change! :D
|
||||
|
||||
* Olivia's powers.
|
||||
You used your last _cortexiphan_ -or however it's written- on revive yourself
|
||||
from a headshot (LOL), then you get injected fours times, each for every
|
||||
dimension swap you have to do. Despite the fact that just this sucks, there's
|
||||
more: William Bell needed a lot of time just to unleash her powers, and now,
|
||||
is not that she have the powers _active_, but also she knows how to swap
|
||||
dimensions on her own will. Fascinating. Also, from this point Olivia don't
|
||||
need fear to use her powers.
|
||||
|
||||
* The observers chip.
|
||||
Peter removes a chip from a observer and the observer die. Removes it from
|
||||
himself and nothing happen. And I'm not talking about how deep the chip was
|
||||
jumping insinde the brain when Walter did the tests… just WTF, die already.
|
||||
|
||||
* Gun's agains the observers.
|
||||
This is just a little thing: in _our_ universe, Bell design some improved guns
|
||||
-that apparently only the rebels have 21 years in the future…\- that shoots
|
||||
faster to deal with the observers. When Olivia travels to the alternative
|
||||
universe, they don't have that guns but can kill observers without a problem.
|
||||
|
||||
* Time travel:
|
||||
Apparently there's only one shot for a single one to time-travel: September
|
||||
takes it. But when he's killed nothing prevents Walter for time traveling.
|
||||
|
||||
* Olivia vs. Observer Boss.
|
||||
Apparently the energy needed to move a truck with the cortexiphan powers is
|
||||
the electricity of the entire New York. That's efficient use of energy.
|
||||
|
||||
There's more things, I'm sure, but I don't remember just now. Besides, there's
|
||||
more than enough here.

Recently I've started the migration of my company's servers to a new provider.
|
||||
After checking that the OS installed on the -now- old servers was Ubuntu 8.04
|
||||
(holy shit), I decided to make a fresh install of CentOS 6.3, cleaning up all
|
||||
the servers contents and setting up everything from scratch.
|
||||
|
||||
After setting my iptables rules (INPUT whitelisted, OUTPUT accept all) I
|
||||
noticed a big delay on every connection made to my server. After checking a
|
||||
lot of things, these two solved the issue:
|
||||
|
||||
## Enable unilimited traffic on your loopback interface
|
||||
|
||||
``` text
|
||||
iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
|
||||
iptables -A OUTPUT -o lo -j ACCEPT
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Enable traffic for connections started by your server
|
||||
|
||||
``` text
|
||||
iptables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Hope this solves your issue as it did with mine.

|
||||
|
||||
It finally happened. I got tired of octopress and decided to finish what I
|
||||
started: my own blogging CMS.
|
||||
|
||||
It's a really modest thing built with django. I've added some thing to make it
|
||||
easy to use (in my oppinion):
|
||||
|
||||
* settings.py main preferences (required for running the app) are set on environment variables instead of environment dependant settings files or the not so cool local_settings.py.
|
||||
* A a key->value preferences config in the admin ([a simple django model with 3 fields](https://github.com/fmartingr/zombiepress/blob/master/zombiepress/apps/config/models.py#L5)) for settings that may be needed to modify in a live environment and would be a shame if it were on the _settings.py_ file. In example, I use it to [set some RSS preferences](https://github.com/fmartingr/zombiepress-fmartingr-theme/blob/master/blog/rss.jinja2#L4-L6) and the [Disqus shortname for the blog comments](https://github.com/fmartingr/zombiepress-fmartingr-theme/blob/master/blog/entry.jinja2#L62-L65). To disable blog comments I just need to uncheck the "pass to template" option on the required variable.
|
||||
* Theming: Not an absolute state of the art, but it's function works: a themes folder and a variable to select one on the settings.py, I just need to create the basic theme.
|
||||
* **(experimental)** Multilanguage support. A friend asked for a easy to use CMS with multilingual support, so I want to give it a shot. Since I never used django with managed multilingual content, it may be easy or it may be not. The code is there, someone has to try it.

> After finishing zombiepress a friend of mine wanted to use it but asked for
|
||||
some kind of conversion to static since he uploads its current blog to github.
|
||||
That's how this project was born.
|
||||
|
||||
Django as a static site? Of course, it's possible, only if your project it's
|
||||
using a simple backend infrastructure, it doesn't let users modify the
|
||||
database, and also doesn't have contact forms or that kind of stuff. The
|
||||
conversion of a blog into static content was really easy, in about 30 minutes
|
||||
I had an alpha working -which is the 0.1.2 version uploaded in github/pypi-.
|
||||
|
||||
django-stampu is basically a crawler. Some people led me to solutions much
|
||||
more complicated. (Ex. Running a command and let the computer work.) And I
|
||||
didn't like that. I wanted a conversion of the site as I see it when running
|
||||
the `runserver` command, for that purpose you have to follow all the internal
|
||||
links of the site and save the items as *.html if the content-type matches. It
|
||||
also saves the static files in the site, but I need to look further into that,
|
||||
because it can't save files needed by css files yet, it only checks for
|
||||
src/href attributes on all tags in html files.
|
||||
|
||||
Want to try it?
|
||||
|
||||
1. Install django-stampu: `pip install django-stampu`
|
||||
2. Add it to your `INSTALLED_APPS`
|
||||
3. Execute the command: `python manage.py stamp`
|
||||
4. Check the `_static` folder.
|
||||
|
||||
Easy, right? That's what I want to hear!
|
||||
|
||||
Keep in mind that this is a proof of concept, I need to improve lots of things
|
||||
and add some configuration variables for people that want to customize their
|
||||
sites.
|
||||

||||

|
||||
github](https://github.com/fmartingr/django-stampu).

For those who don't know, I started a site a while ago minecraft related (yes,
|
||||
[the one I dropped](/blog/2013/1/12/weekly-project-status-dropping-projects-
|
||||
hard/)). If you don't know what minecraft is (really?!), you can check [the
|
||||
official site](http://minecraft.net/), since this game can be a little
|
||||
difficult to explain.
|
||||
|
||||
The project (which is online at
|
||||
[minecraftcodex.com](http://www.minecraftcodex.com)) is just a database of
|
||||
items, blocks, entities, etc. related to the game, but as in any other site of
|
||||
this kind, entering all this information can lead to an absolute _boredom_. So
|
||||
I thought... what if I can extract some of the data from the game
|
||||
_classfiles_? That would be awesome! *Spoiler alert* I did it.
|
||||
|
||||
> Think this as my personal approach to all steps below: it doesn't mean that they're the best solutions.
|
||||
|
||||
## Unpackaging the jarfile and decompiling the classes
|
||||
|
||||
First of all, you have a _minecraft.jar_ file that it's just a packaged set of
|
||||
java compiled files, you can just `tar -xf` or `unzip` it into a folder:
|
||||
|
||||
``` text
|
||||
unzip -qq minecraft.jar -d ./jarfile
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
With this we now have a folder called _jarfile__ _filled with all the jar
|
||||
contents. We now need to use a tool to decompile all the compiled files into
|
||||
.java files, because the data we're looking for it's hard-coded into the
|
||||
source. For this purpose we're going to use [JAD](http://varaneckas.com/jad/),
|
||||
a java decompiler. With a single line of _bash_ we can look for all the .class
|
||||
files and decompile them into .java source code:
|
||||
|
||||
``` text
|
||||
ls ./jarfile/*.class | xargs -n1 jad -sjava -dclasses &> /dev/null
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
All the class files have been converted and for ease of use, we've moved them
|
||||
into a separate directory. But there's a lot of files! And also, when we open
|
||||
one...
|
||||
|
||||
``` java
|
||||
public class aea extends aeb
|
||||
{
|
||||
public aea()
|
||||
{
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
protected void a(long l, int i, int j, byte abyte0[], double d,
|
||||
double d1, double d2)
|
||||
{
|
||||
a(l, i, j, abyte0, d, d1, d2, 1.0F + b.nextFloat() * 6F, 0.0F, 0.0F, -1, -1, 0.5D);
|
||||
}
|
||||
// ...
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Look at that beautiful obfuscated piece of code! This is getting more
|
||||
interesting at every step: almost 1.600 java files with obfuscated source
|
||||
code.
|
||||
|
||||
## Searching for the data
|
||||
|
||||
I took the following approach: Since I know what I'm looking for (blocks,
|
||||
items, etc) and I also know that the information is hard-coded into the
|
||||
source, there must be some kind of string I can use to search all the files
|
||||
and get only the ones that contains the pieces of information I look for. For
|
||||
this test, I used the string "diamond":
|
||||
|
||||
``` text
|
||||
$ grep diamond ./classes/*
|
||||
./classes/bfp.java: "cloth", "chain", "iron", "diamond", "gold"
|
||||
./classes/bge.java: "cloth", "chain", "iron", "diamond", "gold"
|
||||
./classes/kd.java: w = (new kc(17, "diamonds", -1, 5, xn.p, k)).c();
|
||||
./classes/rf.java: null, "mob/horse/armor_metal.png", "mob/horse/armor_gold.png", "mob/horse/armor_diamond.png"
|
||||
./classes/xn.java: p = (new xn(8)).b("diamond").a(wh.l);
|
||||
./classes/xn.java: cg = (new xn(163)).b("horsearmordiamond").d(1).a(wh.f);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
As you can see, with a simple word we've filtered down to five files (from
|
||||
1.521 in this test). Is proof that we can get some information from the source
|
||||
code and we now to filter even more, looking around some files I selected
|
||||
another keyword: _flintAndSteel_, works great here, but in a real example you
|
||||
will need to use more than one keyword to look for data.
|
||||
|
||||
``` text
|
||||
$ grep flintAndSteel ./classes/*
|
||||
./classes/xn.java: public static xn k = (new xh(3)).b("flintAndSteel");
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Only one file now, we're going to assume that all the items are listed there
|
||||
and proceed to extract the information.
|
||||
|
||||
## Parsing the items
|
||||
|
||||
This was the more complicated thing to do. I started doing some regular
|
||||
expressions to matchs the values I wanted to extract, but soon that became
|
||||
inneficient due to:
|
||||
|
||||
- The obfuscated code varies with every released version/snapshot -or it should.
|
||||
- The use of OOP difficulted method searching with RegEx matching, since the names could change from version to version, making the tool unusable on updates.
|
||||
- The need to modify the RegEx if something in the code changes, or if we want to extract some other value.
|
||||
|
||||
After some tests, I decided to _convert_ the java code into python. For that,
|
||||
I used simple find and match to get the lines that had the definitions I
|
||||
wanted, something line this:
|
||||
|
||||
``` java
|
||||
// As a first simple filter, we only use a code line if a double quote is found on it.
|
||||
// Then, regex: /new (?P<code>[a-z]{2}\((?P<id>[1-9]{1,3}).*\"(?P<name>\w+)\"\))/
|
||||
// ...
|
||||
T = (new xm(38, xo.e)).b("hoeGold");
|
||||
U = (new yi(39, aqh.aD.cE, aqh.aE.cE)).b("seeds");
|
||||
V = (new xn(40)).b("wheat").a(wh.l);
|
||||
X = (vr)(new vr(42, vt.a, 0, 0)).b("helmetCloth");
|
||||
Y = (vr)(new vr(43, vt.a, 0, 1)).b("chestplateCloth");
|
||||
// ...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Since that java code is not python evaluable, just convert it:
|
||||
|
||||
- Remove unmatched parenthesis and double definitions
|
||||
- Remove semicolons
|
||||
- Remove variable definitios
|
||||
- Converted arguments to string. This can be improved a lot, leaving decimals, converting floats to python notation, detecting words for string conversion, etc. Since for now I am not using any of the extra parameters this works for me.
|
||||
- Be careful with reserved python names! (`and`, `all`, `abs`, ...)
|
||||
|
||||
``` python
|
||||
// Java: U = (new yi(39, aqh.aD.cE, aqh.aE.cE)).b("seeds");
|
||||
yi("39", "aqh.ad.cE", "aqh.aE.cE").b("seeds")
|
||||
// Java: bm = (new xi(109, 2, 0.3F, true)).a(mv.s.H, 30, 0, 0.3F).b("chickenRaw");
|
||||
xi("109", "2", "0.3F", "true").a("mv.s.H", "30", "0", "0.3F").b("chickenRaw")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Now I defined an object to match with the java code definitions when
|
||||
evaluating:
|
||||
|
||||
``` python
|
||||
class GameItem(object):
|
||||
def __init__(self, game_id, *args):
|
||||
self.id = int(game_id)
|
||||
|
||||
def __str__(self, *args):
|
||||
return "<Item(%d: '%s')>" % (
|
||||
self.id,
|
||||
self.name
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
def method(self, *args):
|
||||
if len(args) == 1 and isinstance(args[0], str):
|
||||
"Sets the name"
|
||||
self.name = args[0]
|
||||
return self
|
||||
|
||||
def __getattr__(self, *args):
|
||||
return self.method
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
As you can see, this class have a global "catch-all" method, since we don't
|
||||
know the obsfuscated java names, that function will handle every call. In that
|
||||
concrete class, we now that an object method with only one string parameter is
|
||||
the one that define the item's name, and we do so in our model.
|
||||
|
||||
Now, we will evaluate a line of code that will raise and exception saying that
|
||||
the class name _<insert obfuscated class name here>_ is not defined.
|
||||
With that, we will declare that name as an instance of the GameItem class, so
|
||||
re-evaluating the code again will return a GameItem object:
|
||||
|
||||
``` python
|
||||
try:
|
||||
# Tries to evaluate the piece of code that we converted
|
||||
obj = eval(item['code'])
|
||||
except NameError as error:
|
||||
# Class name do not exist! We need to define it.
|
||||
# Extract class name from the error message
|
||||
# Defined somewhere else: class_error_regex = re.compile('name \'(?P<name>\w+)\' is not defined')
|
||||
class_name = class_error_regex.search(error.__str__()).group('name')
|
||||
# Define class name as instance of GameItem
|
||||
setattr(sys.modules[__name__], class_name, type(class_name, (GameItem,), {}))
|
||||
# Evaluate again to get the object
|
||||
obj = eval(item['code'])
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
And with this, getting data from source code was possible and really helpful.
|
||||
|
||||
A lot of things could be improved from this to get even more information from
|
||||
the classes, since after spending lot's of time looking for certain patterns
|
||||
on the code I can say what some/most of the parameters mean, and that means
|
||||
more automation on new releases!
|
||||
|
||||
## Real use case
|
||||
|
||||
Apart from getting the base data for the site (all the data shown on minecraft
|
||||
codex is directly mined from the source code), I made up a tool that shows
|
||||
changes from the last comparision -if any. This way I can easily discover what
|
||||
the awesome mojang team added to the game every snapshot they release:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
This is the main tool I use for minecraft codex, is currently bound to the
|
||||
site itself but I'm refactoring it to made it standalone and publish it on
|
||||
github.

|

date = 2013-07-09
|
||||
+++
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Not so long ago I've been gifted with a Yubikey. It's a two-auth hardware
|
||||
solution with multiple auth methods (OTP, Challenge-response, OATH-HOTP and
|
||||
static password). It easily scaled to one of my favourite and most useful
|
||||
gadgets.
|
||||
|
||||
I've been a google authenticator user for a while, but the yubikey is just
|
||||
much easier to work with: when configured, you only need to tap a button on
|
||||
the usb stick to generate your key. You can use this in many ways, but in this
|
||||
post I'm focusing on ssh authentication and how to install the yubico-pam
|
||||
module into an Arch installation.
|
||||
|
||||
## Installing the required packages
|
||||
|
||||
Thanks to the awesome arch community we already have the needed packages on
|
||||
the AUR, these are: [yubico-pam-
|
||||
git](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/yubico-pam-git/), [yubico-c-client-
|
||||
git](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/yubico-c-client-git/), [yubikey-
|
||||
personalization-git](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/yubikey-
|
||||
personalization-git/) and
|
||||
[libyubikey](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libyubikey/). Keep in mind
|
||||
that you _may_ need to install more packages depending on your system
|
||||
installation.
|
||||
|
||||
You can install that with your favourite AUR helper or using `makepkg`:
|
||||
|
||||
``` text
|
||||
$ curl -O https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/li/libyubikey/libyubikey.tar.gz
|
||||
$ tar xvzf libyubikey.tar.gz
|
||||
$ cd libyubikey
|
||||
$ makepkg PKGBUILD
|
||||
# ...
|
||||
$ sudo pacman -U libyubikey-1.10-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Repeat that step for all the packages, in order: _libyubikey_, _yubico-c-
|
||||
client_, _yubikey-personalization_ and _yubico-pam_. If you have trouble
|
||||
installing from the AUR [refer to the appropiate wiki
|
||||
page](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR#Installing_packages).
|
||||
|
||||
## Configure the PAM module
|
||||
|
||||
Edit `/etc/pam.d/sshd` and add on top on the rest of the auth modules:
|
||||
|
||||
``` text
|
||||
auth sufficient pam_yubico.so id=XXXX key=XXXX
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You can obtain an ID/key conbination by registering your yubikey [at this
|
||||
page](https://upgrade.yubico.com/getapikey/).
|
||||
|
||||
## Authorization methods
|
||||
|
||||
### Individual authorization mapping
|
||||
|
||||
If your server have multiple users this is the easiest method to let them
|
||||
configure their yubikeys. You just need to create the file
|
||||
`$HOME/.yubico/authorized_yubikeys` with the following contents:
|
||||
|
||||
``` text
|
||||
<username>:<Yubikey token ID 1>[:<Yubikey token ID 2][:...]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The yubikey token identifier can be obtained by removing the last 32
|
||||
characters of any OTP value, and you can add more than one ID to the file.
|
||||
|
||||
Restart your ssh server to apply the changes.
|
||||
|
||||
### Central authorization mapping
|
||||
|
||||
Create a file on `/etc/yubikey_mappings` that will contain all your users and
|
||||
their respective yubikey token identifiers, like this:
|
||||
|
||||
``` text
|
||||
<first username>:<Yubikey token ID 1>[:<Yubikey token ID 2][:...]
|
||||
<second username>:<Yubikey token ID 3>[:<Yubikey token ID 4][:...]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For this to work, you need to specify this file to the pam module `authfile`
|
||||
parameter:
|
||||
|
||||
``` text
|
||||
auth sufficient pam_yubico.so id=XXXX key=XXXX authfile=/etc/yubikey_mappings
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
After that estart your ssh server to apply the changes.
|
||||
|
||||
## Logging in
|
||||
|
||||
The next time you're asked for a password on you ssh login you can use a
|
||||
yubikey OTP instead of your current password -if you have any-.
|
||||
|
||||
This method works pretty well with authorized ssh keys as well, since you will
|
||||
log-in automatically from a computer with a configured ssh key but an OTP -or
|
||||
password- will be required for logging in from anywhere else.

title = "Warcraft 3 on MAC with wineskin"
|
||||
date = 2013-08-10
|
||||
+++
|
||||
|
||||
A few days ago, I bought Warcraft III. I never finished it before, since I
|
||||
didn't own the game, and lately I had this inner urge to play a game on the
|
||||
Warcraft series. Since going back to World of Warcraft isn't an option, I
|
||||
decided to rollback to the part of the Warcraft lore that is unknown to me.
|
||||
|
||||
Sadly after buying the game I discovered that they dropped support for the
|
||||
game when Apple did the conversion of their hardware from powerpc to intel.
|
||||
There was no way of running the mac version of the game on newer hardware, and
|
||||
I even contacted Blizzard support about the matter, but the answer was the one
|
||||
I feared: I had to use wine. This reminded me of the old days when I was a
|
||||
linux user and this was needed in order to play anything on linux.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Installing the needed software
|
||||
|
||||
First of all, you will need to download
|
||||
[Wineskin](http://wineskin.urgesoftware.com/tiki-
|
||||
index.php?page=Wineskin%2C+Play+your+favorite+Windows+games+on+Mac+OS+X+without+needing+Microsoft+Windows),
|
||||
as we're going to use this to "emulate" our windows environment. Also,
|
||||
download the windows warcraft downloaders from your battle.net account.
|
||||
|
||||
Execute it and download the last engine (clicking on the plus symbol) and also
|
||||
update the wrapper.
|
||||
|
||||
You should see your wineskin window similar to the one on the left.
|
||||
|
||||
Now you need to create a clean wrapper for your Warcraft III installation.
|
||||
|
||||
## Creating the wrapper
|
||||
|
||||
Just click on the "Create New Blank Wrapper" button and give it a name. I will
|
||||
go with "Warcraft III.app". It will ask you to install some mono/gecko
|
||||
libraries needed for the wrapper. Just go with it and wait until all the
|
||||
process finishes.
|
||||
|
||||
You will be prompted if you want to open the containing folder, do it since
|
||||
now we need to configure our wrapper.
|
||||
|
||||
Now, right click the app you created and select "Show package contents".
|
||||
|
||||
Execute Wineskin.app, and select "Install software", on the next panel select
|
||||
"Select setup executable" and go to the path of your warcraft 3 downloader,
|
||||
that will prompt the installation menu when it finishes.
|
||||
|
||||
Install your warcraft as you would in a windows machine, and when you exit the
|
||||
installer wineskin will ask for the main executable file, select "Warcraft
|
||||
III.exe". After that, repeat the process with the Frozen Throne executable.
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
We need to tweak some things before we can play, here's what I did:
|
||||
|
||||
* Go to set screen options and set windowed. Since I have a 16:9 screen and the game runs at 4:3, everything is streched. Maybe there's a 16:9 patch around the net.
|
||||
* I customized the icon with [this one](http://icons.iconarchive.com/icons/3xhumed/mega-games-pack-36/256/Warcraft-3-Reign-of-Chaos-5-icon.png). You need to convert it to ICNS for using it with wineskin (you can use [this online tool](http://iconverticons.com/online/)). Copy it into the package and select on the advanced options in the wineskin executable.
|
||||
* If you want to play with the frozen throne expansion, change the Windows EXE on the advanced settings panel to "Frozen Throne.exe".
|
||||
* Since wine can't play the cinematics, you can safely remove/rename the movies folder under the warcraft installation folder. (Default: `drive_c/Program Files/Warcraft III`)
|
||||
* Delete the game installers if you stored them into the wineskin package to keep the .app file size to a minimum.
|
||||
|
||||
## Enjoy!
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
It's done! Store the Warcraft III.app somewhere if you don't want to repeat
|
||||
the process if you delete the game.
|
||||
|
||||
### Updates:
|
||||
|
||||
* Using the -opengl EXE flag will get you a smoother framerate. (thanks to **Sylvain Prevost** in the comments)
|
||||
* Suggested engine: WS9Wine1.7.2. (by **Sylvain Prevost** in the comments)

<p>Recently, I've been working on a tool to extract data from iOS backups, and one of the files that a backup have is the Manifest.mbdb (or mbdx for old versions).</p>

title = "How to: Starbound dedicated server on a linux machine"

|
||||
|
||||
The day it's here! Starbound beta is finally here, and what could be better
|
||||
than having a dedicated server to play with your friends? Let's get this done.
|
||||
|
||||
## Install SteamCMD
|
||||
|
||||
Official documentation: <https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD>
|
||||
|
||||
Basically you need to download it's shell script to manage steam apps, take
|
||||
special attention to the lib32 section if you're running the server in a 64bit
|
||||
machine.
|
||||
|
||||
``` text
|
||||
wget http://media.steampowered.com/client/steamcmd_linux.tar.gz
|
||||
tar xzf steamcmd_linux.tar.gz
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Install Starbound on the server
|
||||
|
||||
You will need to login with your steam username here to download/update
|
||||
starbound. Your account** is not needed** to keep the server running.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
``` text
|
||||
./steamcmd.sh
|
||||
# Steam updating and validating stuff
|
||||
Steam> login your_username_here
|
||||
# Your password WILL BE VISIBLE. But after a first login
|
||||
# your credentials will be cached so you don't need to
|
||||
# expose them everytime you need to use the steamcmd.
|
||||
Steam> app_update 211820
|
||||
# This will install starbound, it will take a while
|
||||
# depending on the server bandwidth.
|
||||
Steam> app_update 211820 validate
|
||||
# Validate installation, just in case.
|
||||
# I do this in two separate steps because -at least for me-
|
||||
# validating on a fresh install take a lot longer that
|
||||
# just installing and validating afterwards. Don't sure why.
|
||||
Steam> quit
|
||||
# Finished!
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Start the server
|
||||
|
||||
Go to `Steam/SteamApps/common/Starbound/linuxXX/` (where XX is 32 or 64 based
|
||||
on your server architecture).
|
||||
|
||||
Launch `launch_starbound_client.sh`
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to use the universe you played on your computer, just upload the
|
||||
universe folder found on your computer to the same folder where the server
|
||||
script is.
|
||||
|
||||
Happy gaming!
